American Airlines flying empty Airbus A321neo acro...
It should be able to carry at least 180 passengers times 80kg = 14400kg, right? And airlines don't like losing money, so perhaps it's something else, like not having the infrastructure/licenses to haul cargo?

not if the plan is to do the actual flights on the xlr which is a longer range variant of the same plane

Apparently, the A321neo has a range of 7400km, which is more than enough for Philadelphia-Edinburgh.
